FREE HOCKEY INITIATION PROGRAm The Hockey Initiation Program is a “Learn to Play” program that is run by the Oshkosh Youth Hockey Association.

How a child gets their first taste of hockey is crucial. If the beginner has fun while developing basic skills and building confidence, there is a good chance that the player will go on to enjoy hockey for many years.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: • Children will learn by participating in practice drills and informal and modified games. • Skating, puck control, passing and shooting are introduced and refined. • To implement fitness, fair play and cooperation within the fun of the game.

This program is for children 8 years old and younger. Families with children older than 8 can email Matt Carey at chegger12@yahoo.com for a recommendation on the most appropriate hockey development program for their age level. The Hockey Initiation Program will run in two sessions. The first session is FREE for children that are new to the sport of hockey (has never participated in a formal hockey program) and reside in the Oshkosh, Omro, Winneconne, and Ripon school districts. The fee for returning players is $75.00 per session or $125.00 when you register for both sessions at the same time. All fees include the use of any or all needed hockey equipment.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience YMCA programs, regardless of financial difficulties their family might be facing. Y programs such as child care, camping, swim lessons, youth sports and teen leadership programs do more than teach skills - they instill confidence, responsibility, and help young people to be strong in spirit, mind and body. These experiences have a strong impact on kids, helping them grow into healthy, contributing adults.

With your help, no person will be denied the benefits of a Y membership based on financial limitations. Through the YmCA Annual Campaign, people like you come together to make the Oshkosh community

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA ®

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a twelve-week, small group program designed for adult cancer survivors. This program fulfills the important need of supporting the increasing number of cancer survivors who find themselves in the transitional period between completing their cancer treatment and the shift to feeling physically and emotionally strong enough to attempt to return to their normal life or their “new normal.” The program is conducted outside of medical facilities to emphasize that LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is about health, not disease.

Our goal is to help participants build muscle mass and muscle strength, increase flexibility and endurance and improve functional ability. Additional goals include reducing the severity of therapy side effects, preventing unwanted weight changes and improving energy levels and self esteem. A final goal of the program is to assist participants in developing their own physical fitness program so they can continue to practice a healthy lifestyle, not only as part of their recovery, but as a way of life. In addition to the physical benefits, the program provides participants a supportive environment and a feeling of community with their fellow survivors, YMCA staff and members. YMCA fitness instructors work with each participant to fit the program to their individual needs. The instructors are trained in the elements of cancer, post rehab exercise and supportive cancer care. Call Dan Braun for more information. 920-236-3406 ext 311. or email danbraun@oshkoshymca.org.

THE CONNORS Special Olympics USA Games

YOUTH LOCK-IN

I now know what Missy Franklin’s mom must have felt like when her daughter left for her Olympic debut in London. Erin flew for the first time ever on Friday, the 13th of June 2014, with 62 Team Wisconsin athletes to represent the great Badger State at the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games, held in New Jersey. After an inspiring opening ceremony, my 14-year-old daughter, Erin Connors, made her Olympic debut and took to the water at one of the fastest pools in the nation, the DeNunzio pool at Princeton University.

Spend the night at the YMCA! Activities include ice skating, swimming, soccer and much more! A late night snack is provided. Please bring a swim suit, towel, warm clothing (for skating), sleeping bag, pillow and pajamas. Pre-registration is required.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4-5 8:00 p.m-8:00 a.m.

AGE 7-12 (minimum of 20 required)

Beneath Erin’s ever-present smile is an incredible drive to succeed. She and her teammates knew they were swimming against the toughest athletes in the nation and all hoped to do their best. What a week it was! Erin and her seven teammates swam a total of 40 events during the week, setting 25 personal best records and winning 32 awards with an impressive 26 of those awards being medals.

FEE $25 (+tax) = $26.26 Member $35 (+tax) = $36.75 Activity Member

Lock-ins fill fast!

CONGRATS, ERIN!! WE’RE SO PROUD OF YOU!

As part of the Team Wisconsin 4x50 Freestyle Relay team, Erin and her 3 teammates stood on the podium for the bronze and established a team best record, before winning the silver in the 4x50 Medley Relay and setting another team best record with an 8-second improvement.

This experience was amazing for Erin; she came away with increased confidence, independence, and maturity. She has bonded with her coaches and has made lifelong friends of her teammates. She has never traveled independent of her family before nor has she seen the sights of the east coast. Thank you all for supporting Erin in this adventure, it was an absolute success.

SPECIAL

Erin set a personal best in her 50-yard backstroke with a time of :49.78 winning the silver and missing the gold by a fingertip (seven hundredths of a second). The gold wasn’t elusive, though. Showing real Wisconsin pride, Erin claimed the top spot on the podium, winning a gold in her 100-yard freestyle. That was quite an achievement for any athlete, let alone one making her Olympic Games debut.
